Christopher,

There is a parameter in the xorg.conf/XF86Config-4 file regarding which
AGP method to use.  I cannot find the documentation on-line, but it's in
the ATI-specific options.  The default is to use the built-in ATI
agpgart.  You could try using other values.  IIRC there is a comment in
xorg.conf/XF86Config-4 explaining the different options.

Sorry, I cannot be more specific, I do not have the driver loaded at the
moment.
